Recognizing the need for highly trained scientists conversant across disciplines, the University of Washington and the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center created an interdisciplinary research program, the Molecular and Cellular Biology Graduate Program (MCB). For more than 20 years, MCB has combined the strengths of the FHCRC and UW to foster an innovative and flexible graduate training program. Joined by the Institute for Systems Biology and Seattle Biomed, MCB offers a broad range of opportunities for research in all areas of biomedical science.
